I have been in the dating business some time now and have a very good idea of what most guys are seeking and expecting once they decide to start searching for a FSU women to marry especially new guys who wake up in the morning after a bad divorce or experience with a Western women.

If you was to ask a selection of 1000 men who have decided to try to find a FSU women for marriage a simple question like "Why don't you wish to marry a women from your own country?"

75/80% of the answers will follow this line:

1. US guys : a. American women think only of themselves b. American women are only interested in a career c. American women are materialistic . d. American women are not interested in a family.

3. Western European men : a. European women think only of them selfs b. European women are never satisfied c. European women are only interested in their careers . d. European women are very materialistic

From the same answers from thousands and thousands of guys its pretty easy to come to the conclusion that a huge majority of guys searching for a FSU women are doing so for one reason?

That reason is they are looking for a young beautiful women that will cost them nothing to maintain

Many will even go as far as asking the women "Have you a winter coat,hat, gloves" just to check out what the expenditure maybe with their new found love. I heard a story of one women married to a Middle Eastern guy complaining she had no new clothes to go out in. His answer was "Well you don't go out, your at home all day looking after house"Many are tired after an expensive divorce or bitter parting and see marriage to a Russian women as a cheap alternative to not getting caught out again.

People can dispute this as much as they wish but I can tell you for 100% its the reason so many guys search a FSU women. And probably the reason why so many give up after such a short time realising things are not as they thought!

Of course Im not saying this is the case for all guys especially the experienced. But in general its the truth of the matter

I may be able to be the exception...hopefully. My fiancée knows the situation in Alberta Canada which is garbage considering the oil prices have tanked and everybody is getting jazzed on work and employment. I had to pack up from my once nice kick butt salary to unemployment money. I left because I had to look at it as pay 1500$ a month for an apartment or move home and be able to afford to go and see her even more frequently which rocks. We chose for me to go home and live with my parents. I'm surprised that never has she ever asked me to buy her anything. Considering that it's winter here in Ukraine...we have spent more time in the bedroom then doing exciting stuff. Maybe I met one of the gems I heard about when it came to Ukrainian women. But If I ever knew how warm and affectionate and caring these girls were 10 years ago...ohhhh I would have came in a heartbeat.

Opps...talking about Russia. Should have been more aware of the topic. Just half lit up on weird Ukrainian beer over here now. Hahaha. Ahhhh...hahaha...drunk in every photo if you want to see pics. Awesome.

Thanks Tom for the heads up. Yes I was talking to my future mother in law and she was more than happy that I went home for some odd reason. To her it was great that I was with my family. I hate it being at home to be honest.

Given the amount of drinking that goes on in Ukraine, it is likely that your fiancee's former boyfriends were drinkers, so you blend in. It is better to stand above the rest than to blend in, though. Since you intend to marry, it's time to contemplate about your priorities.

I remember a few years ago reading serious advice that a bloke should check the condition of the teeth of any woman in whom he was interested.

The idea being that one should reject, as too costly, women who looked like they might need some dental work.

We have had multiple threads discussing the merits of dental work in this part of the world as compared to the United States.

These days it seems likely that women here will be better sorted in that regard than those from the USA.

The thing always reminded me of a slaver or groom checking the teeth of a prospective purchase or trade. More than a little unsettling.

This is an old Mail order brides documentary, but if you look at the guy living in Lancashire its a common scenario , the women arrives only to be shocked what a flea pit the guy lives in and takes the first flight back..Typical guy looking for a cleaner, washer up and low maintenance sex slave..
